The supreme forgets emotion; the Great Dao is emotionless!
Yin Kuang's stunned silence was all because of the two words "emotionless."
To carry out destruction through human effort, one could not possibly lack emotion. But was destructive emotion alone enough? That did make sense. As Diao Chan had said, "If one had emotions, one might not have the heart to destroy." But if destruction required a powerful will to destroy, then Yin Kuang absolutely did not lack it. Yet he had been unable to comprehend the "Law of Destruction" for so long. So it was still not enough!
Thus, what came to his mind was not human emotionlessness, but "the Great Dao is emotionless" and "the supreme forgets emotion."
This emotionlessness was absolutely not the emotionlessness of humans.
Human emotions only came to exist after humans, as a species, appeared. But laws—the Great Dao between heaven and earth—had existed before humans. In terms of this "emotionlessness," there simply was no concept of "emotion" at all. That was what "the Great Dao is emotionless" meant. Before the laws of heaven and earth, before the ultimate principles of the Great Dao, emotion did not exist; all things were equal—no, perhaps even the concept of "equality" did not exist. It simply was. It needed no explanation, no comparison, no human concepts or intentions imposed upon it. All was emptiness; all things were illusion.
Before heaven and earth, human will was superfluous!
Having thought this through, Yin Kuang felt as though a fresh breeze had struck his face, bringing a liberating sense of clarity. But immediately afterward, his expression dimmed again. Yin Kuang stood there blankly for a while before sighing. "Sister Ren, I need to rest for a bit." Diao Chan softly murmured, "Mm," then drifted away like a floating cloud.
